I have a dataset that shows a snapshot of the current employees in the company, which means there is no timestamp. Anytime I open the dataset, it shows the employees at the moment. Is it possible to have Power BI automatically calculate the averaged number of employees in the company on the 1st of every month?
If one row represents one employee, the total number of rows will be the number of employees. On the 1st of every month, I would like Power BI to count the number of rows and average them. For instance, on Jan 1st, Power BI might get 11 rows from the snapshot of the dataset. On Feb 1st, Power BI might get 20 rows from the sanpshot of the dataset. I would like Power BI to average 11 and 20, and give me 16 as the result in Feb. By mar 1st, if we get 15 rows, I would like Power BI to average 11, 20, and 16, and give me 16 in Mar.
How do I do that?

Hi @Anonymous ,
You may create calculated column to get [Year_Month], then create measure to get Average like DAX below.
Column:
Year_Month= FORMAT('Date'[Date],"yyyymm")
Measure :
Average Count =
VAR _Table =
SUMMARIZE (
Table1,
Table1[Year_Mont],
"Count", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Table1[EmployID] ) )
)
RETURN
AVERAGEX ( _Table, [Count] )

Hi @Anonymous
If your dataset always gets the data of all employes for each month(data has to be there in daatset to calculate average)
I would use
AVG_Count_Per_month = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table1, Table1[month-year], Table1[id], "Count", COUNT ( Table1[id] ) ), [Count] )

I don't have timestamp in my dataset. Here is a couple of examples of my dataset.
In Jan, my Power BI will load this dataset. Total number of employee = 2
Employee Code | Hired date | Employee Status |
a123 | 2010/07/01 | A |
a125 | 2015/05/01 | A |
In Feb, my Power BI will load this dataset, and the dataset I showed above (in Jan) will be OVERWRITTEN by this one. Total number of employee = 2.
Employee Code | Hired date | Employee Status |
a123 | 2010/07/01 | A |
a125 | 2015/05/01 | I |
a127 | 2020/02/01 | A |
In Mar, my Power BI will load this dataset, and the dataset I showed above (in Feb) will be OVERWRITTEN by this one. Total number of employee = 3.
Employee Code | Hired date | Employee Status |
a123 | 2010/07/01 | A |
a125 | 2015/05/01 | I |
a127 | 2020/02/01 | A |
a129 | 2020/03/05 | A |
Any suggestions?
